You don't understand. The party that packs the court should have enough votes to make sure they never lose power again. If the party in power packs the court, what's going to happen is the other half of the country will just declare the federal government illegitimate and form their own.

I'm counting at least one Supreme Court justice robbed of the American people.

Two more are ... questionable....

The reasonable end game is probably something like justices with term limits, or a fixed number of appointments per presidential term.

We probably will never get there without having to play stupid political games in the meantime, given the state of our political parties.

Which is why they are pushing to make DC the 51st state in tandem to ensure that doesn't happen.

Yeah, fuck those people, they don't deserve representation cause it would be bad for the Republican Party.

The law has a solution for this. Portions of DC can and have been given back to the states. Frankly I think they should give the bulk of the "residential and normal city" areas of DC back to MD.

MD doesn't want it, and I don't think there's a mechanism to give it back against their will

One of the many reasons it's a stupid idea.
